A scene that I'm sure would have ended with a kiss. 'Her wan, scornful mouth smiled, and so I drew her up again closer, this time to my face.'
Obviously this passage is indicating that Nick got a kiss out of Jordan. I read that and came to thinking, why would Fitzgerald bother putting that in? I know that the book is narrated by Nick but it is called the Great GATSBY, not the Great NICK. And why make him fall in love with someone so totally out of his league? The reality would be that surely Jordan wouldn't go for him, and yet would go for someone with more money, as Daisy would do. So why put it in? It does add colour, and depth but it just simply annoys me that he has made Nick fall in love with someone out of his reach! Also, on the contrary, the movie didn't include this! That also annoys me. If it's written in the book, then it must be important and have an influence on Nicks life. Therefore shouldn't it be included?
